Snow, here at last !!

1pm Snow has been falling for about 10 minutes, real proper snow, the sort on Christmas cards, I don't suppose it will come to much.

3pm 4" deep snow now, all the kids sent home from school for massive snowmen building in the back garden. The structures are now well defined.

3pm Looks really bitter and cold, but the kids managed about an hour outside without the usual crying of freezing hands. The grasses really stand out with the snow.

Just a pretty picture of the brook that runs down the side of the garden.

5pm Snow has finally stopped, some of the branches really struggling with the weight of the snow. Notice the new structure down by the wall, when we moved in the trees and bushes outside the garden just about blocked the road from view, last year they blocked it completely, so guess what, the council came and cut half of them down, so now the road is in view again. So we've put up the wooden poles to fix stock wire to, and will hopefully train some more roses and climbers along it.
